Travelling by Air

Unit 1 - Travelling by Air

Step 1

When
you arrive at the airport make sure you are dropped off at the
correct entrance: Domestic Departures - International
Departures. You can usually find trolleys for your
luggage outside the entrance and then go and queue up
at the check-in desk. As you approach the
counter the airline representative will ask you for
your ticket and identification.

Your luggage
may weigh up to 20 KGs altogether and if it is
heavier you may be asked to pay excess baggage.
You will have your documents returned along with a
boarding card with the gate, seat number and
boarding time printed on it. The boarding time, as
well as possible delays, will also appear on a
screen next to your flight number.

Step 2

You
will read on a screenwhen it is time to board
the plane. You will be asked again for your
identification and boarding card. Once on board a
steward/stewardess will greet you
and help you find your seat. Then a flight attendant
will come round to make sure that your hand
luggage is placed either under seats or in the
overhead lockers. After take off the cabin
crew will instruct you on how to behave in
case of emergency and show you the emergency exits.

When the
plane lands you get ready to get off
the plane. There might be a shuttle waiting for
you to take you to the terminal building. There
you will have to look for the baggage claim area
where you collect your luggage. You will then
go through customs. If no-one is out there to
pick you up, look for the information desk to
find out about accommodation and public transport to
the city centre.
